LIFE GROUPS
CITY LIFE CHURCH
2026 Fall LIFE GROUPS Sign-Up Form
Start Date: Life Groups began the week of Sunday, October 4, 2026.
End Date: Life Groups will be completed no later than December 15, 2026.
THE MEANS OF GRACE
Tuesdays, 9:00 a.m.-10:15 a.m.
Leaders: Pastor Phil and Christopher Campbell
Where: Herkimer Apartments Lobby
About: God’s grace doesn’t just save us—it forms us. Join this 10-week journey exploring the practices God uses to help us receive His grace and become more like Jesus. Through Scripture, discussion, and hands-on spiritual practices, we’ll explore the “Power of 4” building a consistent rhythm of engaging Scripture four or more days each week—and discover disciplines like prayer, works of mercy, communion, and other practices as means of God’s grace rather than simply things we do for God. Along the way, you’ll develop a simple, personal Rule of Life—a practical plan for rhythms and practices that can help you intentionally follow Jesus long after the group ends.

Where: Youth Room

HABITS OF THE HOUSEHOLD
Thursdays, 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Leader: Will and Corrinne Weaver
Where: The Weavers’ House (sign up to get address)
About: This group builds community and fellowship for young families, especially those with kids too young for Adventure Club. Each week we will share a potluck-style meal (bring a dish to pass, if you are able) and dive into what it means to follow Jesus as families with young kids through the book Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley. This is a whole family experience: we will talk, eat, laugh, and play with our kids milling around us. Come to embrace the chaos and experience the kingdom of God with and through our babies, toddlers, and kids!
RECOVERY/SUPPORT:
Redeemed Sisters
Saturdays, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
Leaders: Erica Oliver
Location: Youth Room
About: This is a faith-based recovery and support collective. This group is a sanctuary for sisters in Christ to find real-talk and support that goes beyond addiction into the whole woman. God has a path for each of us and we want to help one another find that path.
MEDIUM ADULTS
(adults roughly 25–35)
Sunday Afternoons
Sundays, 12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
Leader: Alli Miedema
Where: Youth Room
About: Doing life, exploring faith, and finding community in the middle. Are you somewhere in that “medium adult” stage of life—not quite a young adult anymore, but not sure you feel like a full-fledged grown-up either? This Life Group is designed especially for adults roughly 25–35 years old who want to build friendships, grow in their faith, and wrestle with meaningful questions together. We’ll meet weekly after the second service in the Youth Room for conversation and community. Our discussions will dig deeper into City Life’s current sermon series and explore insights and questions from the BEMA Podcast, helping us better understand Scripture and what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.
